People using Proxy IP's

[Jon Tolzien]

Their are people trying to join my forum, with proxy IP's.

Are proxy IP's considered bad?:erm:

To me they are bad because I think the people are trying to hide who the really are....

Is their a way to prevent people like that even being able to join my forum? I trace the IP's and they always end up in like foreign country, like china or some weird one.

Thanks for the input

Many people at work, school or public places use a proxy to access the internet. While there are illegitimate uses, there are also legitimate uses.

i have the same problem with the proxy id user. they register and register more user. and i disable the register page. but they still can register in my morderation list. i install DNSBL, RBL - Open Proxy monitoring/blocking two days now. i did not see any help with those crazy user.

well considering many publick systems uses proxy, including schools, workplaces, and
many many more.

if you block proxy you just block all those aswell, and i dont belive you should consider
proxy's worse than any other ip.

and proxy ip's are often "not static", and those are often used unwanted purposes.
but so does many isp's im using a non static email, through my ISP's proxy so you would
also block me if you blocked all proxy's

well no danger there, haha but you get the general idea.
its a matter of opinion.
